Just wondering, how can I reduce overlap, as I am getting about 50% overlap both vertically & horizontally. It seem little too much overlap, and when shooting hundreds of picture, it is also waist of time.

Keep in mind, that1) every shooting pattern should be testet before real using, below 30% you can get gaps, due to that every pic will be rotated, moved, etc by stitching software.2) the shootpattern generator is not for free. Using it you agree to donate to a public charity organisation of your choice.

Just set back the Optical multiplier to 1! You already took into account the sensor size with the Sensor coef param. The Optical multiplier param is to be use when you really have an optical multiplier (usually x1.4 or x2), also called a converter, I think.

I'm using papymerlin 2.1.21 and set up all parameters, done some tests but still fighting against a problem: overlapping is not equal to yaw and pitch I'm using a T2i Canon with a Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6 L IS at 400mm (which are unfortunately 380mm effectively). These are my settings:

But when I stich the photos with autopano, a row may be totally deleted!! Here I prepared a screenshot to explain that:

As you can see, setting a 16% overlap, horizontally overlapping is good, enough to get precision to 2.3RMS (img number 14 15 16).But vertically, IS TOOOOO MUCH!! Img 4 and 20 overlap vertically as 14 15 16, but papywizard decides to shot a useless row

Hi thanks for relpy. 25% may be suggested, but I think is for moving objects. As you can see in my screenshot, 25% would be too much, 16% created a useless row! O.oI imported XML with autopano plugin, Autopano Giga 3.5My machine is a Windows 7 x64, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, Q9850 3.0GHz

Can you post the XML file here.

Perhaps there's something wrong with it?

How did you define the scope of the pano - by setting opposite corners?
